Audi builds a super lightweight and modern carbon fiber based R18 Ultra... chair

Taking automotive designed and technology and applying them to regular goods is not anything new as Porsche Design does this all the time. Audi decided to showcase their talents on something as simple and basic as a chair. This chair being anything but basic however weighing only 4.8 pounds thanks to its chair legs made of folded sheet aluminum welded using a cold metal transfer process and the seat shell being made of carbon fiber composite materials.

Yes, a high tech chair based on R18 Ultra race car technology. Audi even published an entire journal on how much development went into this chair. Really, they took this to an absurdly high level. It's awesome but we're scared to ask how much it costs that is if it even will be offered for public sale.
